Ok, so Windows 7 has been out for a while and people are pretty happy with it. But what tools and applications should I install on my shiny new Windows 7? This is going to be a list of the “Top 10 apps for Windows 7“!
1. 7stacks – Group Taskbar Icons
Assuming that you use your computer regularly, you have games, office tools, editing tools (video/audio/etc), media players and much more that all require 1 spot on the taskbar. Wouldn’t it be great if you could simply create a group of similar icons?
7stacks is a great app that allows you to create stacks of taskbar icons. In Windows 7 you are not able to create groups of taskbar icons and you will quickly end up having no room for new taskbar icons.
